I tried to avoid McDonalds for years, especially if there are other options around, but they seem to be winning me back with better customer service, and reasonable prices when everyone else seems to be charging you more for less.
I'm a big fan of the $1.39 value menu. I rarely need a full meal, with fries and a pop, but a quick snack, McDouble, Junior Chicken, or a cone often hits the spot, and saves me from spending $5 plus at another restaurant. My wallet likes that, and so does my stomach!
This location must have some of the oddest customer cycles you can imagine. In the mornings, especially on weekends, you get the "Old" crowd. I can see why, the cashiers are friendly, and the breakfast deals are a good alternative to cooking at home. Free newspaper and chatting with friends seems to be a morning tradition with many in the area. With a monster high school only steps away, the lunch crowd can get unruly some days, especially during the school season. The early evening the drive-through and restaurant gets packed with families on their way to or from soccer/hockey/dance, so you know you're in for a wait. The late evening quiets down a bit, but, then the youth arrive. Management seems to try and stay on top of it though. Lately they seem to congregate outside in the new "patio" seating area, and along the retaining wall next to the parking lot. This crowd is often here very late into the night, since there doesn't appear to be anything else for them to do, and McDonalds is open 24 hours. Maybe they should build an addition to the kids Play Place... how about a rock climbing grotto for the Teens? I'd even sign up!
Service is very consistent and courteous, even after dealing with difficult customers throughout the day. Any time I have had a question about my order, they made it right, so full marks there. Like I said, they seem to be winning me back as a customer, so keep up the good work.
